Teaching

In addition to my research, I also greatly value teaching as it provides opportunities to explore topics beyond my current focus and I find it to be a highly rewarding experience. I have taught courses in several fundamental subjects in economics: macroeconomics (at University Paris Descartes), microeconomics (at University Paris 1 and at the Paris School of Economics), and introductory courses with a significant emphasis on the history of economic thought (at University Paris 1 and Sorbonne University), in both French and English. Among those various courses, two have stood out for their workload and responsibilities. 

For three years, I conducted a 40-hour tutorial for first-year master’s students at the Paris School of Economics. This advanced course in microeconomics included a substantial component on game theory and industrial economics. It marked my first experience with teaching in English at the Master's level. I actively contributed to the development of teaching materials, including tutorial exercises, and initiated lectures on the application of experimental economics in development economics. Guiding students in developing models to explain behaviors or economic situations that interested them was also a significant part of my responsibilities.

For two years, as part of my ATER contract with Sorbonne University, I've been responsible for a 192-hour course on Introduction to Economic Concepts for first-year undergraduates in the Applied Foreign Languages (LEA) program. This course introduces students to economics through elements of the history of economic thought, an initiation to mathematical formalization, and an overview of major economic concepts. I had complete responsibility for this course for the entire cohort, in a hybrid format of lecture and tutorial sessions. Teaching this course to non-specialists has pushed me to refine my ability to clarify complex concepts for a broader audience, essential for making the discipline accessible and sparking students' interest before introducing them to more advanced conceptualization.
